Enserview OF a Delegation Prom the
miners' Unisn with supt. Patton.

VIRGINIA, New, July Last night

Virginia Miners Union visited Superin-
tendent Patton at his residence with a
proposition to attempt to reach the 1900
foot level drift of the b. & b. by way
OF the Gould & Curry incline. They said
they were in great suspense as to the tate
of the imprisoned men and desired to do
all in their power for their rescue or the
recovery of their bodies II dead.
They were of the opinion that an
entrance to the drift Ia which the
men were confined could be made
by removing the the bulkhead put
in the night OF the fire, aud working

Patton said he w. oi the opinion that

ing above the buiknead that was put iu
ON the loo ievel. Should they take
out the bulk head they would be obliged
to 6ght their way through lire distance
of 200 feet 10 order to get up to the 500
station. He thought SUCH an attempt
snicidal hft4t8
Some OF the miners were still OF the
opinion that the fire might be out, and
that it was worth while TO have a look
behind the bulkhead. Mr.. Patten told
them of the fire aud big blsz ny timbers
be had seen in the incline, aud argued
that raere was much fire in these aud
other timbers that had become ignited
After Mr.. Patten's description of the
burning incline one of the men said that

woalG be like going into hell.
Mr.. rstten tin lily said that as he
wished to leave nothing untried or un.
dose that could possibly lead to the find
ing of the men, he wou d meet them at
the mine at 10 O'Clock this morning,
when, il they still insisted upon opening
the bulkhead, they could try it. Several
of the men said Mr.. Pstten's explanation
and arguments had shown the matter in
new light. Finally. on leaving, the
delegation said they would think the
business over during the night, aud let
Mr.. Patten know at ten o'clock this
morning the conclusion at which they ar.
rived So the matter rested last night.

of Blaine and Sherman, which will pre-
vent the nomination OF either of these
